About Me:
As a composer, producer, arranger, and musician my work has been featured in projects ranging from film (feature and independent), tv, documentaries, jingles, theater, to recording projects. I studied composition with Michael Jefry Stevens and arranging/orchestration with Don Sebesky and Scott Smalley. I'm also the keyboardist for "The Atwaters" a blues/roots band. The real talent in the family is my wife whose vocal treatment of Christmas carols defies description.
